My buddy and I did two drafts at the LGS. Nothing truly epic happened to either of us, and there were a couple of laughs. I'm really glad a lot of people had a ton of fun. Had a bit of a cloud looming over my head with some anxiety issues which I think prevented some of the fun.

On the plus side, my wife pulled a foil Plains from one of the three prize packs I brought her. People have been pointing out they're essentially Expedition-level rarity, which is probably correct. I have no interest in collecting them, and I've already sold it on FeeBay.

I know the LGS is drafting again tonight and we've already opted to not go. I think they're probably planning on drafting it until RIX comes out, so I'll probably have to do another one to get my 6th draft for the End of Year Draft Promotion to get my 2 Standard Showdown Packs.

A few critiques of the set:

1) Removal is scarce.

2) Entirely Normal Armchair is freaking awesome. More than once I'd sneak it onto the battlefield as I was casting the 2/2 guy that you sac an artifact to give him +2/+2 and assemble a contraption. My opponents all thought it was actually quite a good move, which made me happy.

3) Variance is, quite plainly put, stupidly variant. GO TO JAIL is either amazing or terrible. Mostly it was terrible for me and amazing against me. Can I have some pepper to go with my salt please?

4) Contraption decks are OP. Had a dude beat me with 2x Goblin Riggers he got out on turns 1 and 2 (he had 6 in his deck I think?) and assembled a few other contraptions with like Work a Double, and just crushed the crap out of me. Not enough artifact destruction.

5) It was alright. Like I said, I'm glad a lot of people had so much fun, I'm just a little sad the set isn't really for me.

I drafted the set twice and had a blast! I pulled Urza in my second draft and actually got to play him which was awesome.
Sorry to hear that you weren't able to enjoy the set as much you would have liked. I agree that the removal is very scarce.

I took eight packs of Kaladesh after winning a small FNM a couple weeks ago and my best card was a Harnessed Lightning.

I don't keep up with the secondary market so much. I know the lands are "sought after" but I wasn't sure if they went the way of normal full arts and are worth like a quarter or two. If you can consistently sell them for $1-$3 apiece depending on the land, then that's really not that bad. Kind of removes the gambling aspect, sans the foil land.

I was underwhelmed by the foil full arts until I saw an Island this past week. It is gorgeous!
